Donald Trump was on Saturday, June 13, caught on camera struggling with walking down a ramp and lifting a glass of water, as his critics took to social media to assert that he might be sick, trending the hashtag, TrumpIsNotWell.
However, Trump took to Twitter to debunk the news, as he explained that the ramp was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery.

Here's what he wrote;
“The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”

President Trump has had two other similar episodes in the past, one was during Theresa May’s White House visit in January 2017 and another during his UK trip in July 2018. Both times, he grabbed the prime minister’s hand when they were either walking down or climbing up stairs.
While some observers speculated that Trump may be scared of stairs, a condition known as bathmophobia, others, at the time viewed the hand-holding as an act of chivalry or a power play.
